Normaly, its just a simple matter of knowing how the colors work.

Its mostly like you would expect if you know how colors normaly mix, except in rgb red+green=yellow instead of brown, and all the primary colors (which have green instead of yellow now) mixed is white instead of brown.

Since you are tinting the unit instead of recoloring it (I swear I am putting old-fashioned palet swaps (like old console games) into any 3d rts engine I write just to make it easier for modders), its best to assume that the unit has a high value for that color already, so you need to make up for it. Just take what would work on a relatively white unit and subtract a bit more from blue.

So, if you wanted to make purple, you have an easy time, just remove most of the green (all if you dont mind making the green player have a hard time seeing what color is his). It should look a bit towards the blue end, but a little experimenting with lower blue you can get a nice shade.
